Hail Mary, Forgive Me (Kellic, boyxboy)

Chapter 21

I hardly slept that night, worrying about what would come the next day. Vic and Ashton in the same room. The man who loved me and the drunken mistake. The just didn't fit together in my mind, and I had a horrible feeling that Ashton, who had been very open about his intentions that night, would reveal what had happened to Vic. If he did, I didn't know what would happen. I did manage to slip off to sleep eventually, dreaming of five or six different ways the day could go, each worse than before. 

My sleep was light, due to the disturbing dreams, and so Vic opening the door was enough to wake me alone. Thankfully, he took it as me being well rested rather than restless. I was sent off to shower immediately, while he got out some inexpensive clothes that I could wear while decorating. Once I was dressed, we walked down to the dining room, to find Mike, Jaime and Tony all there, digging into the bowls of porridge laid out for us. 
"Morning. Are you ready for the last exams Vic?" 
"Of course I am. Are you?" Jaime and Mike both pulled a face, while Tony remained perfectly calm. 
"Depends what you mean by prepared. Prepared to sit the exam? No. Prepared to get a bad grade and have to drop the class? Yeah, I'm surprised that it didn't happen for our exams before Christmas." We all sat laughing for a while, before continuing to eat. 

All too soon, we were finished breakfast, and awaiting Ashton's arrival. Vic was sat with me, whispering feverishly to me about all the little details, and which parts of the decorating needed to be done that day. With just days until the ball, I was not surprised to find that there was a lot that had to be finished that day. Just as he finished telling me when the dreaded doorbell chimed throughout the house. It was just me and Vic who were in the dining room while Justin showed Ashton in. The second he walked in, I saw his face light up, and groaned internally. 
"You must be Ashton. I'm Vic, and this is-" 
"Kellin.  I know, we've met before." I glared at him, while Vic recovered himself. 
"Yes, well, he's going to be overseeing all the decorating, since I've got to go off to collage and sit an exam just now. I should be back in about six hours, Kellin knows all of the plans. I guess I'll leave you to it." 

The second Vic left the room, Ashton approached me, the same seductive smile that he wore that night plastered onto his face. 
"So that's Vic? I expected him to be taller, since you are obviously non-dominant in the relationship. Yet he's got the kind of aura around him that must make it irrelevant." 
"Shut up, Ashton. I don't want to hear any of it. Let's just get this done as quickly as possible while still doing a good job, then you can leave, and never come back." 
"Whatever you say, boss." He winked as he said boss, and I rolled my eyes in an attempt to subdue the seductive behaviour. "Now what am I doing here?" 

I explained to him exactly what needed to happen, showing him all of the graphic drawings that Vic had done, and hand sketches of the individual components. Once I'd finished explaining, we brought all of the things that we would need in from his van, and got to work. He set me off on some basic tasks, that I could do while he did the more complex things I would have no hope of doing without a lot more experience. Thankfully, he kept the suggestive comments to a minimum, and I ignored the few that he did make. 

It was only when we broke for lunch briefly that it started to get bad. 
"You know, I didn't show you what I can do with my lips that night. Maybe I could show you now?" 
"Or shut them before I go and get the roll of duck tape from your tool box and tape them shut." It took me a whole second to realise the mistake I'd made. 
"Kinky, I like it. Sure, we can go down that route if you like." This I ignored, and finished eating the corned beef slices chef had made specially for me, since Vic had given me a taste for them. 

We went back to work, pushing to work quicker, so much so that I ended up sticking some AC/DC on in order to boost my spirits. We had just finished everything that needed to be done that day when Ashton decided to try making comment again, that time going straight into the night I wished had never happened. 
"I was being serious. That night the other week was amazing, one of the best fucks I've had. I'd happily do you again, any time. Your boy needn't know about it." He finished just in time for me to hear the door close, and I turned to see Vic stood there, with a mixture of rage and shock crossing his face. 
"Vic..." I watched as he turned around and left the room,the door slamming behind him. "Why can't you just keep your mouth shut?" I flung the words out at Ashton, before running out of the ballroom and straight into Mike. 

"He knows. Ashton couldn't keep his mouth shut, and wanted to hook up again." 
"Fuck. Let's find Jaime and Tony before we tackle Vic. He's going to be mad, and freaking out. We should probably get rid of Ashton before Vic can throw any punches."
